If I were NO I would trade my #1 pick to Orlando. Send soon to be acquired R.Lewis/#1 (being AD) for Howard/#19. Then draft Ross at #10 for and Marshall or Teague at #19. Resign Gordon and Kaman cheap or target a back-up C and a PF in FA. Orlando can end the nightmare and have a super #1 again to reload. Add to that R.Lewis and Turkey comes off the books this coming year giving the team 2 assets for trades or let them walk generating 32 million in cap space next year. The team would also play themselves into the lottery for next year - great position to be in - for both teams. Maybe Stern can quietly bully Howard to shut up and sign for a couple years. Hell, NO can go after Paul as well as he's an UFA next year :)

I only had a little medication today but I see things so clear buah hahahahaha

I don't see why you'd trade the no.1 pick for anyone really :s (Exception being Durant Or Lebron)
Davis has potential, and a lot of years ahead of him. You don't throw it away and assume he wont be great. His ceiling is apparently to be better than Howard, not saying he will, but his potential is projected that he'll be great.
Gordon and Davis are young, let them grow together. Go through some experiences together. It makes perfect sense to just keep it going as it is.

Howard is not making it clear where he'll be after his contract is over, even if he's traded. If I was a franchise which isn't named the Nets, I wouldn't even bother gambling or destroying my roster(clearing cap space) for him. Nets have nothing to lose at this point, their franchise is already gone to hell with their stupid Gerald Wallace trade and pursuit of Howard.

You really think Howard would stay on a playoff NOH team, let alone a lotto one? Way too many meds.

Obviously it's contingent on Howard. As for projections on AD, I would take a 26 year old D12 100 out of 100 times over him. Gordon is no lock to stay even with AD coming on board. And with a 'hell and a hand basket' franchise in the Nets, tell me why again Howard would sign there?

boooo....you guys have no vision :cookie:. Anyone that would keep AD over Howard is insane and should be shot. Now I'm not saying it would happen but if D12 sees a roster that is competitive...then giddyup.

I already like AD 1000 times more than supergoof. And why is Vasquez being forgotten?

Trade Davis for Howard and then Howard jumps ship next season leaving N.O back at square one.

He hasn't been forgotten just bypassed cause he's chosen to stay over seas and until he signs here he's superfluos.

AD is not a savior and unlike above he won't be half the dominant force D12 is. And of course it depends on Howard resigning, he's a joke right now and will destroy the Magic much like Shaq did.

We must be talking about different people. Greivis Vasquez?

Trade a potential all star and consensus number 1 pick who would be under contract for the next 4 years And restricted fa for a one year rental? Hahahahahahaha worst trade ever.

Yea, but how can you be so sure Davis can't be as good as Howard one day? What I'm trying to say is Anthony Davis' potential is off the roof, he's got so many years to show it. You really can't just ASSUME he wont be as good as howard, you have nothing to go off of... No NBA game played, no years played. Trading him away isn't smart, what if he becomes a Tim Duncan? It'll just come back to bight you in the ass. Gordon would stay if AD brings success, I would think so atleast. No reason to leave if you're winning and got the time to prove you're worth the max, Hornets have Cap space don't they? I'd stick with Gordon and AD going forward as the franchise players. Unless a better player for Gordon appears through free agency/trade.
If somehow the Nets could get a howard through trade this draft (Which they wont obv) Dwill would sign back, atleast he said that's what it would take for him to return. If that happens, Howard will re-sign. They really don't have much to lose at this point imo.

well if they did that then they also become a player for deron williams, and they have money to spend

well thats never going to happen,

lol the funny part abotu this is if it actually happened 7 years later we would be talking about anthony davis beign traded from orlando becuase they still didn't get a player that davis would need to become a truly great team,

There is a difference drafting on potential and hoping that a 'what if' happens compared to drafting a 26 year old behemoth that is a legit 20/10 blocking defensive nightmare that effects the game on both ends of the floor with his presence. Kinda of an easy pick.

LMAO..that is a possibility that can go towards NO as well but that's the thing....great players make others great, they don't need players to help them become great.
